ABC News and the Washington Post today reported about the popularity of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is the Senate's most liberal member after Vermont's Bernie Sanders, in both blue and red states.
Campaigning in Kentucky last month and West Virginia, Warren drew excited standing-room-only crowds, cheering her anti-Wall Street/Big Business/one-percenter/polluter message.
Unlike the typical coreless smooth "professional" politico that panders to whatever audience is before him, Warren remained true to her anti-coal message in a region dependent on coal while campaigning for Democratic Senate hopeful Natalie Tennant in her uphill race against Shelley Capito.
On cue, Capito's campaign manager chimed in, saying Warren is defender of President Obama and his "anti-coal agenda." Blow-dried Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, who was traveling with Capito, told reporters that Warren is "part of the war on coal."
Warren, of course, is not waging a war on coal. She stands for a national policy that promotes energies of the future, not of the past. She stands for slashing carbon emissions, the primary source of global. On Obama, Warren sees him as weak tea.
Her appeal is simple. She pulls no punches. Warren speaks from the heart, promoting economic fairness, opportunities for all and a government that doesn't represent the one percent.
Warren offers a good lesson for PR people. Be authentic. Don't hide behind statistical mumbo-jumbo. Forget the dodging and spin, which turns off audiences.
The 65-year-old senator says she doesn't plan to run for President. You have to take her word, but Hillary Clinton should be nervous about the growing support for Elizabeth Warren.
It's as real as she is.
